CUMBERLAND COUNTY — Despite forecasts of snow for the northern parts of the state, Cumberland County will only see rain, with chances for a mix of wet snow and rain, Saturday.

Meteorologists are predicting about one-and-a-half to two inches of rain for Saturday into early Sunday morning.

“The rain should begin midnight Saturday,” said Mike Pigott, a meteorologist for Accuweather in State College, Pa. “Cumberland shouldn’t see any accumulation of snow.”

Pigott said due to the temperatures, which should surface in lows of about 34 to 35 degrees, the snow will not stick.

“There will be a great deal of rain,” Pigott said.

Pigott confirmed that the heaviest amounts of rain will arrive during the day, then taper off around 3 or 4 a.m. Sunday morning.

“That’s when the mix of rain and snow could be experienced,” Pigott said.

Technically, the storm is part of the nor’easter that’s hitting parts of Pa., N.Y., and New England.

“But what Cumberland will see is more of a storm,” Pigott said. “There won’t be any north-easterly winds.”

Pigott added that isolated areas that have seen flooding, could be in danger of flooding, especially in poor drainage areas.

Such could be the case in Greenwich, which has been experiencing King Tide this week.

Photos sent to the News from William and Karole King of the Bacon’s Neck Road area of Greenwich, showed high levels of water in the stream that rolled in with the king tide around 12:30 p.m.

“When we had six inches (last August) we were surrounded with water,” Karole said. Her home lies in an area that is accustomed to flooding. “Right now, we’re good so far. Other than being mixed with the tide, I don’t know if we’ll have flooding.”
